 * Hi Joe, your plugin looks very promising for a project I am currently working
   on. However, we need all the strings to be translated to Dutch.
    I’ve started
   here: [https://github.com/paulvanbuuren/waymark](https://github.com/paulvanbuuren/waymark)
   Would you like a Pull Request for this? Where?

 * Hi [@paulvanbuuren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulvanbuuren/),
 * Thank you for your work on this. Translation is high up on my to-do list and 
   I have been meaning to integrate GitHub into my workflow, so this is some good
   motivation 🙂
 * I am currently moving house and need to give a little thought on how best to 
   do this, so I will need to get back to you once I have the repo hosted on GitHub.
 * Just curious, what tools did you use to create the translation files?
 * Thanks again,
 * Joe

 * Hi Joe.
    I used Poedit for it. Recommended. To be extra precise: Poedit Pro on
   MacOS.

 * [@paulvanbuuren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulvanbuuren/),
 * Recommendation appreciated, especially as I am on Mac also 🙂
 * This is still high on my to-do list, I just haven’t had time of late. I will 
   be sure to post back here when I do.
 * Cheers,
 * Joe

 * Hi Paul,
 * I have created a GitHub repository for the plugin which can be found here:
 * [https://github.com/morehawes/waymark/](https://github.com/morehawes/waymark/)
 * master contains the current public release (0.9.14) and I have created a [branch](https://github.com/morehawes/waymark/tree/0.9.15-a1)
   for the next release, which is translation ready (loads the text domain and contains
   the POT file generated using Poedit Pro).
 * Please feel free to create a pull request. I should say that this is my first
   time collaborating using git, so it is very much a learning experience for me:

 * Also I would like to credit translators on the plugin directory page, so please
   let me know what name/URL to list for your contribution (if you would like).
 * Joe
